CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT RATS.
Wonderful Wcdge-Shaped Teeth
Used Very SkiIifu!ly.


The rat is finely equipped for the Pc
culiar life he is ordained 10 lead. He has
strong weapons, in the shape OF four long
and very sharp teeth--two in the upper
jaw and two in the lower. These teeth
are wedge-shaped, aud, by a wonderful
provision OF nature, have always a fine,
sharp, cutting edge. On examining them
carefully, the inner part is fund TO he oil
o soft. iyory-like composition, which can
easily be worn away, and the outside is
composed OF IA glass-like namei, which Is
exceedingly hard. The upper teeth work
into the under, so that the centres Of the
opposed teeth meet perfectly Mn the act
OF gnawing, hence the soft part Is being
continually worn away, while the hard
part keeps a sharp, chisel-liGe edge all
the time, and at the same time the teeth
are constantly growing up from the bot
tom, 80 that as they wear away fresh
supply ia ready. Should one OF these
teeth be removed, by accident or o,her-
wise, the opposite tooth will contiGue to
grow. and, there being nothing TO wear 1t
away, it Will project from the mouth and
he turned upon itself, and il it be an under
tooth it Will often grow so long as to PEN
citrate the skull.
There ia a fact but little known which
well illustrates the rava.es rats can in
fl ct on hard substance by these little,
sharp teeth. Many of the elephants
tushs imported INTO London are found to
have their surfaces gr0oved into small
burrows Of unequal length and depth, as
tbou2h cut out by very snarp-edged in
strument No man would take the trou-
Die 10 d. this so carefully, tut the rat
has found out the tusks which contain the
most gelaline--a most delicious morsei
for his palate--and he gnaws away "a
much as suits him and leaves the rest FIR
the ivory worker, who is neither unable
nor unwilling to profit by the fact marked
by the rats teeth. the ivory which con-
taius large amount of eeIatine is softer
ana more elastic than that which does
not, and as elasticity Is the thing need
IL for billiard balls, ne selects this rat
gnawed ivory, and turns it into beautiful
elastic spheres, to be used upon the finest
billiard ables. The elasticity or some of
these balls Is so greatthat, when thrown
iorcihly on hard floor. they will re-
bound TO the height of three or four
feet.
Rats have a remarkable instinct for
finding out where there is anything good
tor food, and it has often been subject Of
wonder how they manage TO get on
board ships laden with sugar and other
attractive cargoes, but the mystery has
been solved. for they have been seen to
come Oft shore to the ship by means 0fs
the rope BY which she is moored to the
wharf. BY the same means they will
leave the ship when she comes into port,
particularly if they find their quarters
iilling or filled with water.

WASHINGTON STABLES,
What Senator Stanford Has to Sly
OF Them.

From the he1o York Sun.
Washington does not look half as lar ge
to Senator Stanford as 1t does to many
men in public life. Most Senators want
to build themselves fine houses and stay
here forever, il their constituents will let
them. Senator Stanford does not care tor
fine house anywhere, least of all in
Washington. you can rent anybOdy's
house anywhere, II you pay enough for
it," he says. "What you can't rent is a
good stable for your horses" To-day the

rooms tor horses, footmen and grooms;
parl0rs and bedrooms for the
latter, ana the beautiful gold
plated harness has apartments fore its
good keeping that would bring tears OF
gratitude to the eyes of the most obdurate
cOachmaL. Senator Stanford has but five
horses here now, but will bring i've moro
with hIm next December. These will be
trotters, with the exception of one or two
thoroughbreds. Stanford himself never
rides horse back, but ne has several fine
saddles on artistically designed saddle
brackets in his harness room, and he keeps
good riding horses on the Palo Alto farm.
He takes pleasure in Offering his thor
oughbreds To his frieuds. and Secretary
